The details hidden in these manuscripts refer to the golden period of astronomical progress in India. Some of the manuscripts under study are Laghu-Manasa-vyākhyā, Vasishta-siddhānta, Graha-ganita-Bhāskara, bhūgola nirnayaha, nakṣatra ghaṭikā and many more. We have studied a few of these in detail and some are being studied. Palm leaf manuscripts are approximately 400year old; while the paper manuscripts are 200year old. The reading, translating and analysis appear to be a challenge. Here we summarize the highlights of some manuscripts which are analyzed partly or completely. |
